The Innovators - Frank Gruber - Technology Evangelist

Our next interview in 'The Innovators' series is with Mr. Frank Gruber. Frank is a hardcore blogger who gives us some fantastic tips on everything from how to start a blog, as well as how to monetize, advertise and get detailed tracking on all of the stats for your blog. If you're looking for further information on setting up a blog from Frank, check out his PDF, "Steps to Getting Started In the Blogosphere - Part 1: Setting up a blog".

After earning his Undergraduate Degree in Computer Information Systems from Purdue University Frank worked as a consultant at several Fortune 500 companies for Technology Services Group. In 2002 he moved to Tribune Interactive, and during that time with Tribune Company Frank received a Master's Degree in Computer Information Systems from Northwestern University. Currently Frank is the Product Manager for Classified Ventures' Apartments.com, where he focuses on strategy for their consumer website, while pursuing a Master's Degree in Business Administration.

The first thing you'll notice that is different about this interview from our previous interview with Derek Franklin is that it is shot in a bar. You will also note the different style of interview. We have been experimenting and thought it would be fun to do a more relaxed setting. As you will see, the problem with this is that the audio becomes very complex, so it may be a bit hard to hear at times. Fear not faithful viewers -- we are working on getting different audio gear that will help alleviate this problem in the future, as well as some better video gear. Hey, we're still borrowing equipment, so we can't complain too much...

In addition to our normal RSS feeds, we have also made our torrent feed available for users of Democracy Player, which should help decrease the amount of download time, as well as take some bandwidth strain off of our servers.

If you would like to try our QuickTime full-screen 480p beta, you may do so by clicking here. Please let me know of any bugs or problems you encounter, such as QuickTime crashing, not able to pause the video, not able to exit full screen, etc. Please remember that this is a beta and may not work as intended. I should also point out that there is no 'loading' screen on this demo, so your screen may go black as it tries to pull down the 2Mbps video stream... just be patient, it's loading... you may have to be very patient, actually.
